Drake Honors Ozzy Osbourne In His Hometown

Drake has paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne in his hometown of Birmingham, England.

The 6 God took to the stage in the UK’s second city, walking out to Black Sabbath’s iconic hit “Iron Man”.

He then said to the crowd: “Hey Birmingham! Rest in peace to the legendary Ozzy Osbourne.”

Earlier in the day, Drake attended a local memorial for the heavy metal pioneer where he poured out some tequila for the notoriously hard living legend.

He also said to The New York Times: “I just came out to pay respects to someone who lived it to the fullest.”

T-Pain also paid tribute to Osbourne, who died at the age of 76 earlier this week.

T-Pain covered the Black Sabbath singer’s iconic hit “War Pigs” back in 2023, which won the approval of Ozzy himself.

Osbourne wrote on social media: “This is the best cover of ‘War Pigs’ ever. Why didn’t you guys call me?”

T-Pain responded to the praise by saying: “You’re always invited. Top of the list, every time!! Thank you so much. Means a lot coming from the greatness himself.”

With Osbourne’s passing, T-Pain fondly remembered their brief online encounter and paid tribute to one of the founding fathers of heavy metal.

He wrote on X: “Heartbroken by the news. I was blessed to be able to cover War Pigs and get your recognition. Ozzy Forever.”

Osbourne died just weeks after his final live performance in his hometown of Birmingham, England.

In a statement, his family said: “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”

No cause of death has yet been revealed for the rocker who was a founding member of Black Sabbath before embarking on a successful 40 year solo career, releasing his final album in 2022.

Later in life, Ozzy also became a successful TV star, appearing alongside his family in MTV’s The Osbournes, a show credited for ushering in an era of family focused reality television shows such as Hogan Knows Best.
